It’s took billions of dollars and years to build the current 3G offerings available from Verizon and AT&T, and its going to take the same to properly convert to 4G. If Verizon gets the iPhone anytime in the next couple of years, it will probably have parts or hardware on it that have been designed to work specifically on Verizon’s networks.

So I ask you, what good are all these features if you have no signal to use them?
This is the reason I left AT&T and went to Verizon two years ago and I haven’t had any issues. If Verizon gets the iphone I will be the first to stand in line for one. Until then I will do without.

It keeps the employees off their phones during work hours but really why can’t Apple just get this thing going! Until then I have to be content with the i-touch and a droid that works everywhere.

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 23:07:22 +0000http://theappleblog.com/?p=43153#comment-384157I wish US Cellular would negotiate something with Apple for the Iphone, their service was better than Verizon and At&T. I have at&t now, its horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible and terrible, terrible, terrible. They give you extremely low minutes for their phone packages, and charge a huge increase for their next upwards packages. I had three different conversations with AT&T in two days, long distance charges, daytime minute charges, and then trying to upgrade my plan. BTW, whoever designed their menu on the 611 needs to be fired. The first menu gives you a choice for the operator press 0, did that, then oh by the way you can do this, find out that, see whats new, and press 0 for an operator. It did that THREE TIMES !!! I WANTED TO THROW MY IPHONE OUT THE WINDOW AT MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS CAR, talk about frustration. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER, oh forgot the commas … NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER and EVER switch to AT&T. Worst than my Verizon debacle back 5 years ago. Why cant a carrier pull their big fat head out of their big fat you know what and set the price for a flat fee across the board. $55.00 and they’d have a customer for LIFE. But no their greedy, stupid, disorganized, I could run their company better than they could …. morons. I’m just in total disbelief. I’m gonna shove that termination fee up their you know what and say hello to my new/old friends at US Cellular. and then jailbreak my iphone down the road and go skypin.

They hold the lowest all data plan costs of all of the three. Why not open the iPhone as an international phone GSM/CDMA and let the user decide whom to pair with. Afterall Apple is not in the business for data networks. YET !!

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 14:51:18 +0000http://theappleblog.com/?p=43153#comment-384153This is a horrible article. The title says “three reasons,” but the article simply goes on about market share and doesn’t mention “three reasons” at all. The graph is misinterpreted in that it’s clearly measuring “iPhone OS” but then Charles goes on to say that maybe it doesn’t include the iPod touch? If you are going to include the graph at all, it’s probably a good idea to find out what’s included in it for starters. In fact all other sites I’ve seen that use that graph say what the graph says, which is that it’s about “iPhone OS” (and thus includes the iPod touch).

I’m not disagreeing necessarily with the conclusion. Market share is the very first actual reason that Apple would have to make a CDMA phone. In fact it’s pretty much the only valid reason there is at all (if these market-share numbers are actually being interpreted correctly that is).

But Jeez, this is just the worst written piece of psuedo-journalism I’ve seen in a while.
